Re: Blade HQ Natural G10 Dodo has dropped
By the way, Blade HQ has a veterans discount
equivalent to the sales tax
but you have to ask for it by email
and send a copy of your DD214
or other proof.

Re: Blade HQ Natural G10 Dodo has dropped
I want to so badly, but I just can’t. I just got the St. Nick Dodo, and the Magnamax Mule drops next week.
Sorry to say, I’m skipping this one unless it’s magically in stock in the middle of a dry spell.

Have one inbound from BHQ. Have missed them the few times they pop up over the years. DLC coated M4 should be a fun knife. I'm stroked.
Re: Blade HQ Natural G10 Dodo has dropped
I just bought one from BladeHQ, I don't know how long it will take to arrive. I live in Spain.

Re: Blade HQ Natural G10 Dodo has dropped
Mine arrived today
and I am very pleased.
I have advocated for a short blade
in a full sized handle
and this... bill fits.
The black finish
hides the gleam of a hollow grind
and the glint of the swedge.
But I can live with that.
This looks like it would be
a really nasty self-defense knife.
Congratulations, Eric.
If you want to open the market for this
world wide and make a few Euros,
allow me to make a suggestion.
A modest change
in the locking mechanism profile,
a cam or ramp instead of a locking lug,
would turn the Dodo into a slip joint.
That and the short blade
should make it politically correct
in hoplophobic nations
with restrictive knife laws.
Best wishes for continued success.

Re: Blade HQ Natural G10 Dodo has dropped
I am so glad I bought the Natural G10.
It is really growing on me.

Re: Blade HQ Natural G10 Dodo has dropped
Thank you Mad Mac for taking the time to post this about Blade HQ's veteran's Discount!!! Today, I bought an M4 Dodo Natural G-10. I emailed Blade HQ an attached photo of my VA Administration ID card & my order number for the Dodo. The expected discount is equivalent to the sales tax. Cheers, Thuyen
Necromonger: What do you think of this blade?
Riddick: I think it is a half gram heavy on the back end.

Re: Blade HQ Natural G10 Dodo has dropped
I lack the skill and energy to try this myself,
but I wonder how a Dodo would turn out
if the Natural G10 scales were sanded smooth.

Re: Blade HQ Natural G10 Dodo has dropped
Just got this one in and I looked heaven and earth over for it. I wanted this exact knife just with the DLC-M4 steel with the SE blade.
Had to settle for one that is not coated, but I am willing to suffer a little for the SE...

Re: Blade HQ Natural G10 Dodo has dropped
I didn't know you could buy the serrated blade, Blade HQ only sells the plain edge.
Re: Blade HQ Natural G10 Dodo has dropped
Garret,
I don't know how old of NIB stock knife this was. It may have came and went some time ago. I bought this one off ebay as I have bought quite a few of my M4 Spyderco knives the last year or so off ebay.
Just not found a better steel that has been on the new production knives I like. S30V is ok just wish for a more harder steel for my larger blades.

Re: Blade HQ Natural G10 Dodo has dropped
The SE Dodo was from May 2022. It sold more slowly than the PE but I think they were all gone by July.
SE from that uncoated run was $175 and PE was $155.
